- Of the 14 outlets on this story carrying a published leaning rating, 29% are rated left, 14% are rated centre, 57% are rated right.

- Neither side dominates it. Of the 14 rated outlets on this story, 29% are rated left, 14% are rated centre, 57% are rated right, and no side holds the 70% this site would want before calling a field one-sided.

- Is the coverage of Kremlin adviser wants Europe in Ukraine peace talks biased?
- Kremlin adviser wants Europe in Ukraine peace talks is one event reported by 39 outlets, and this page does not rate the story as biased or unbiased. What it publishes is the spread: which outlets ran it, where named rating organisations place each of them on the spectrum, and what each side chose to lead with.
